- Dr Rhona gives you the lowdown on how you can remove surface staining from your composite bonding!
Composite bonding is extremely popular but it is not a permanent solution, and one of the common issue people face with composite is staining.
What can you do to prevent staining and what can you do to remove it?
3:04 is when the video starts
Thanks I've learnt from this, this is the problem with my front tooth totally from watching this video. My dentist didn't explain any of this to me. I had a chipped tooth and within 1 year it has chipped off in a different place, is discoloured and I'm so embarrassed of my smile. My dentist didn't explain what he was doing originally or why or how to best take care of it. Nothing. You are an amazing presenter and you explain things I didn't even know I needed explaining to me. Can't express my appreciation enough. 👍👏👏👏
What did you do to fix your tooth ?
Dr. Eskander thank you so much for making this video. I looked at every source I could find on how to get stains off of my front tooth composite filling and every one of those sources said it was impossible to whiten them and that I would have to get them replaced. But then I came across your video and everything changed! I bought a waterpik and used a sonicare electric toothbrush too. After about 3 uses of the waterpik, the filling is MUCH LESS visible. Now I'm not walking around looking like I have something stuck between my teeth! I've been really upset about it and I"m so glad I tried what you recommended. THANK YOU
You failed to tell HOW TO REMOVE STAINS!
Waterpik, go to dentist to have them polished, basically just take care of them? I had a porcelain bond break after 40 years and it was replaced with composite bond and bought a waterpik and electric tb to try to help..
I took care of them, did all the things told not to do. I don’t smoke, drink wine or coffee. I gave up standard tea & curries. I don’t know what else I was supposed to do but all that felt like a big enough sacrifice. Despite this, yellow blotches appeared within a few months & I was told all food can cause staining. Electric toothbrush etc. was useless. This video is implying that it’s our fault if the bonding ends up looking bad. You also have provided no helpful solutions.
Thanks you saved me 5 minutes
Very misleading title. I wanted to know how to REMOVE STAINS from my composite filling, which is exactly what the title states, however, You did not tell how to remove stains. In fact, around the 5 minute mark you actually stated that we cannot REMOVE stains from composite bonding, we can only prevent them....um, HELLOOOO!!..... Why did you title your video this way then? 🙄
Totally pointless, misleading video 👎🏼
*what a weird thing to say. “Im not going to give you this information if I don’t have lots of people behind me subscribing*
*Never in my life heard a youtuber say something like that. Unsubscribed*
Mosleading title! This isnt about whitening bonded teeth.
Thanks for the tips! 💕
I've got two of my front teeth bonded last week here in Italy, and I'm so happy with them!
I don't smoke but I drink coffee more than twice a day, and my dentist said it won't be a problem if I brush my teeth regularly. But it gets me nervous, especially when I'm out and can't brush my teeth 😅
I thought to drink it out of a straw 😅
Hi Alessandra, which teeth did you get bonded? I want to get my top 4 teeth in the front with composite veneers. Are you happy with them still
@@davidharrow9025 yes, very happy. I did it last December. I'll show you a pic if you want.
Buongiorno . If you are Italian, you must drink Red wine ! : ) . We visited twice , from Canada. Beauty Everywhere ! Do you have any problems with wine staining ? I am scheduled for January, and am thinking of changing to white wine. Thank you Happy New Year
@@jmack619 yes, I'm Italian and I drink red wine 😂 and much coffee! I've got my teeth bonded last year and I had no problems so far.
@@alessandramarzia223 Thank you ! Made my year ! Gratias
Wow u explained this so wonderfully I immediately subscribed… when I was a child very young I had a little brown stain on one of my right upper front tooth’s … I honestly don’t know how that stain got there but it was like a little brown dot.? I was like 7 or 8yrs old and they told my parents I wasn’t allowed or they weren’t allowed to use bleach to remove the stain out … & being that young and I was already picked on in school because my hair looks terrible I had a major mean kids/bullies in school… I didn’t want to use the toothpaste they prescribed to get rid of the stain because that meant I would have to go to school with my tooth looking really dark… Long story short I pitched a fit and my parents made the decision to just put composite bonding over the whole tooth… here I am at 33 years old and it’s still there but I think I might’ve had a little bit of gum recession maybe due to aging and just brushing my teeth harder and I can barely see where the bonding used to be up to my gum line… and it’s still holding up like a charm however…. I would like to remove it one day and try to bleach the stain out from under my front tooth if it’s not too traumatizing lol… it’s good to know that it can be filed down I loved how do you used the nail term shellac to describe it… such a well spoken beautiful woman… now if only I could find a dentist I trust I don’t have insurance though… sighs
Very informative, covered everything well. Thank you
My eye tooth was bonded 27 yrs ago. Looks great except for yellowing from coffee & tea. Dentist told me only option to match my other teeth is to replace the bonding material - $500. Oh well…
This is so not true. I had my bonding done in 1997!!!!!!! No problems!!!!! Just now noticing some discoloration.
Same! Mine in 1994.. have you found any solutions?
@@pinkybliss6215 Do you smoke? I smoke and I notice it started staining too fast.
Do you smoke? I smoke and I notice it started staining too fast.
@@prietagarcia1155 no, I don't smoke. I've done research on it, and it's just oxidation of the resin, like bathroom plastics turning yellow/brown over 20 years. You can get it thin covered by a dentist or try a peroxide gel
I had a tooth done in 1993. I don't drink wine/dark liquids and I don't smoke. About 10 years ago, I began to notice that it had become discolored. It is still in good shape, just darker than my other teeth. Normally, that wouldn't be a big deal, but it is my front tooth. I am told that it cannot be whitened. If is can darken, shouldn't it be able to be lightened?
My dentist misinformed me. I had 6 teeth done and bonded. I am very irritated by the fact that removing the bonding material now involves damaging the enamel after I specifically ask the dentist 100 times if this procedure will harm my enamel in any way shape or form and they explicitly said NO. Such a bummer. I never had a cavity in 33 years of living, perfect teeth and oral health, and its really frustrating the because of some minor cosmetic touch ups I now need to damage them.
How could it damage the enamel?
I think I was my dentist’s first bonding job. He too was pretty ignorant and told me it’s totally reversible. I feel for you.
@@user-ih3uf9sh6h Things could be worse of course. Thank you for your understanding.
same here. my teeth are flat, yellow and full of gaps after the removal. my depression is real and my confidence is gone. How are you doing?
@@user-ih3uf9sh6h i had the same problem. a real nightmare
Super video Rhona, really informative.
Thank you so much
I had such a beautiful smile before now I hate it my dentist fixed my two front tooth and my smile doesnt look the same
Bonding has actually been around for more than 10 years. An ex co-worker had her teeth bonded back in the 80s. So at least 30+ years!
Mines gone wobbly ready for popping off waiting on a repair lol I love mine it's just maintaining them but well worth it 🥰
Hi 🤍 do you recommend teeth whitening before getting composite bonding? Also can I get it both done the same day or wait a week or 2 after teeth whitening ?
Iam planning to do my teeth bonded i about a week, and my dentist recommended me to do whitening for 2 weeks ans stop whitening a week prior to the bonding. The reason is the bonded teeth will reflect and match the underlying color my teeth have. She didn’t force me to do it as long as you are happy with the shade of your tooth. But i wasn’t happy with it .
Very informative video Dr Rhona. I booked and paid for Smilefast, but after the whitening prior to fitment i changed my mind. I love coffee and the ability to eat anything I like. I felt Composite bonding is slightly limiting. This was all in the last two weeks, since that time I've seen Bioclear (bonding) which might give me the flexibility and toughness I want.
Composite is composite, it really doesn’t mater which technique is used to place it, it all has the same chemical structure.
@@DrRhonaEskander thanks for the reply. If that is the case, then why is Bioclear more hardwearing and durable? It cannot be the same surely?
There are many different brands of composite on the market all with different claims. But essentially they will all have a similar lifespan, will stain and will chip, as well as the actual material the frequency of chips etc is also technique sensitive. For example if there was moisture present when placing/curing the composite it will likely fracture or chip more quickly or if the clinician places the composite in a position that is within the bite the forces will mean that’s more likely to chip. I wouldn’t say that any composite material has a huge amount of durability over any other, it’s marginal.
@@DrRhonaEskander Very helpful video. I am scheduled for bonding January 19. for two top front teeth. Described as Permanent Anterior Bond Colored 5 Surface. my front teeth are worn ( a bit shorter ) than adjacent teeth. I do remember a dentist grinding them shorter once , for some reason. I would like them to be slightly longer than adjacent teeth. Is this a suitable solution ?
Not if you do your homework. There are many articles from dental sites saying they are not all created equally@@DrRhonaEskander
I just discovered you Dr Rhona and have subscribed. My front teeth were damaged and I have just completed having them reconstructed with composite bonding at a dental college. They look great but I am so afraid I may have made a mistake. I possibly should have had crowns instead. I am very health conscious and my diet has included daily teas or coffee, nuts and blueberries. All the things I read I am supposed to avoid! I am so very afraid! Should I have financed having my teeth crowned instead? now it’s too late. I am not sure what to do since I do not wish to give up my most loved and healthy foods and drinks. Is there any way to avoid serious stains? After a search there is one toothpaste named "Supersmile" that claims to be created by the inventor of tooth bonding, Dr. Irwin Smigel, that removes stains from bonding. Could that be true? Are there any products or toothpaste you recommend? Any advice for me?
Can just keep getting bonding re done can’t you? Not as scary as going for veneers
Yes, my dentist re-does it every few years.
Ive gone to two different dentist and neither of them want to replace it what do I do . It look horrible . The rest of my teeth are so white . It’s one of my front teeth... I just have a bunch of super white teeth and a super yellow tooth ... what can I ask my dentist to do ??
Can you get ceramic bonding?
I have had mine for 10 years and they still look amazing just a bit stained/)
Were they done on your front teeth?
Hi Rhona! Thank you for the informative video, I totally appreciate it. Do you smoke? I smoke and I notice it started staining too fast. Can going to the dentist and have them shine will remove the stains?
Thanks for the tips, but zero luck with any of this. BTW I have had bonding on a front tooth for over 30 years. It has been around probably 10 years even before that. However I have had to replace it many times and wish I had been told it stains so easily when I first got it. It is so expensive now to get a veneer not sure what to do. It really looks like hell now all yellow. One dental hygentist did scrape a layer off with a razor blade once and it looked good for a while, but it just stains again.
Have had mine for 3 years, awfully stained look yellow, and I dont smoke or drink coffee ect. If I had my time over I never would have done it.
My dentist kind of refused to give me super white bonding and Im' sorry about it because my teeth look yellowish and dull. He kept saying it would look too white and fake but I don't care! they look fake anyway. It was so expensive and I'm so disappointed. I've had it for eight years and really can't afford veneers yet. So maybe you could get it removed and just whiten your teeth?
@@7RB373 removal is really difficult. got it removed :(
I feel the same way
@@Encouragementishere Has the composite already been removed from your teeth? My teeth look terrible now :(
@@jennywhut No not yet . I got them done in
was in 2016 requested by my dentist. She did them and did not even match the material to the regular color of my teeth. They were so yellow. I came back in two days and she redid them stating oh yes you’re right these are not a correct color smh. I was so unhappy with the second bonding that She returned my money. I wish I would’ve never got them done. The crazy thing about it was no one even knew I had chipped teeth until I said something. I wish I would’ve never got them done. my teeth look like I’ve been smoking and drinking coffee all of my life. I’m doing research now to see what is the best option. I was informed by my current dentist that I may have to get crowns I don’t want crowns.
How do you get stains out of the cracks please?
Is bonding and edge bonding 2 different things? I have thin front teeth that are staining and bees sorting
if I want braces, do I need to wait until after they're removed before getting bonding, or can I get bonding first?
Thanks Rhona. Very helpful as I need some bonding! Who did your teeth out of interest? Where do the greats like yourself and Sam Jethwa go?
Hey lovely Monik Vassant did mine
I have composite veneers and stains from coffee started to form after 2 years.
Yes this is normal, total lifespan of composite is 3-5 years
@@DrRhonaEskander how about Bioclear vaneer?
@@DrRhonaEskander my dentist told me 10-15 year and my composite cracked after 2 weeks. got it removed and my teeth look so weird flat and yellow and full of gaps. a nightmare
Im 44 and had white fillings in my molars about 12 years old....its been around a while
Hey Mam, I'm from India....I have got composite veneers on my teeth the last year it's just been a year and the composite veneers have started discolouring, now my teeth are off white in colour, plz tell mam what should I do of them now..
I think I'm going with bonding, I don't drink wine or coffee and I don't smoke, the only colored drinks I have is diet cola which so far hasn't affected my composite fillings at all in over a year so I'm guessing it doesn't stain much.
do you use a straw with your cola
@@unknowngaming0000 no
@@95TurboSol oooh I just got my bonding done and I cant part with my fizzy drinks so that's reassuring thanks
@@unknowngaming0000 oh ok cool, yeah I can't part with them either
I had an accident last year and smashed my front teeth.One tooth ( that was pretty much gone) just seems to not want to except it.Three times I’ve had the bonding now and it’s cracked again!! Could this be that the broken tooth they have put the bonding on May need a crown? I keep my gums and teeth clean it’s getting frustrating now
Bonding or composite veneer
Can you use a hydrogen peroxide whitening gel like Philip zoom after having bonding and whitening to top up your whitening ?
You can if prescribed by a dentist, but it’s unlikely to remove staining from composite.
I used hydrogen peroxide and made the stains darker!
What can I do after a composite removal? My teeth look so weird after the removal
how so? They don’t look like they did before the bonding?
@@user-ih3uf9sh6h No :/ the dentist removed enamel too. My teeth are flat, yellow and full of gaps
can't understand a word you're saying
Weird question but do you still drink coffee ?
Yes I do!
I eat beetroot and liver😮 hmmmm
